Chinese man has new nose grown on his forehead after losing his nose in a car crash

A 22 year old Chinese man named Xiaolian
has had a new nose grown on his forehead
after loosing his original nose in a car
accident. Xiaolian had the treatment to create
a replacement for his original nose which was
infected and deformed following the accident
in 2012. He actually left his damaged nose
unattended to after the accident which led to
the infection and eventual deformity, leaving
the surgeons unable to repair it.
Surgeons in China were left with no option
than to create another nose for the man to
breathe properly and then transplant it to the
original place. The nose was created by
placing a skin tissue expander onto Xiaolian’s
forehead. This was cut into the shape of a
nose and was supported by cartilage taken
from the man’s ribs. Continue...
Surgeons say that the nose has developed
well and that the transplant surgery will be
carried out soon.
